Norway's "Oil" election
for the first time, norway heads for their election with the future of its oil industry at stake.
“The public mood has changed,” said Gulowsen, who heads Greenpeace Norway. “Something’s really happening. For the first time, our national dependency on oil, our responsibility as oil pushers to the rest of the world, are real questions.”
With the ruling rightwing bloc of parties and the opposition neck and neck, smaller parties may find themselves kingmakers.
Pollsters predict an election thriller, with a rightwing bloc headed by the outgoing Conservative prime minister, Erna Solberg, and a leftwing opposition grouping led by the Labour party leader, Jonas Gahr Støre, separated by only a handful of points.
the election is being held today, 11 september.
